Some fifteen years ago, I was obtaining funds for MAP International to protect the elephants using electric wiring to keep elephants out of the villages–so this struggle to balance economic opportunities through tourism, with local needs and still preserving wild life habitat continues. This documentary is especially timely as Congress is cutting back on some of the limitations for elephant trophy hunters although the President is “reviewing” the policy. But this is where the global village has to work together to find the appropriate solutions.
